Sally Yeh at Genting

For his recent birthday, Mr Kong received tickets to attend the Sally Yeh Concert at the Arena of the stars, Genting Highlands. It was a fun night out, having had dinner first, at a local restaurant on the way up to Genting.


For those who don't know who Sally Yeh is, this is the wikipedia entry on her (Mrs Kong was not the cluest) - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sally_Yeh

notice the row in front and behind mrs Kong looking very bored...

Great songs, albeit cantopop, though the crowd was a little luke warm. Sally tried her very best to get the crowd a little more enthusiastic, but Malaysian uncles and aunties are Malaysian uncles and aunties. They would pay RM300+ for the best seats in the house but have their arms folded across their chests!


Mr and Mrs Kong tried their very best to inject a little more excitement to the event by cheering Sally on (see pic above). Inspite of our best efforts, Sally missed our row of audiences when she came by to greet us common folk. We went away without a pic of Mr Kong shaking hands with Sally Yeh. Unlike some lucky cousins of ours who got to go back stage (we heard :P).

Obsession with food

An Uncle (who I shall not name today), recently commented he thought a little less of his life now as all he thinks about is food, cooking and food. This made me wonder about my own circumstance somewhat because this is precisely the turn my life has taken in the past 12 months.

All I can think about these days is what I will cook, bake or eat. Needless to say I am happiest either holding a rubber cooking spatula in my hand or surfing the net for cook books/ books on cakes. I spend most of my money on cook books, and look forward to the days when I will have my own kitchen again - to cook and bake up a storm!

Is it really so bad then to be obsessed with food?

The happiest people I know love their food. People who love their food also seem happy to me. The loveliest people I have known either love cooking or feeding their loved ones.
Good food brings people together; great conversations and ideas are exchanged over fantastic meals!

Personally, I am pleased I have found this new obsession. Everyone else around me will just have to get fat eating what I plan to cook and bake!

Mrs Kong

Cake Decorating Class

Black Forest with only 3 cherries as the rest of the class got to the cherries first before Mrs Kong could get down to decorating her cake.

Pictures from Mrs Kong's Cake Decorating Class. Results produced under the strict eye of teacher. Mrs Kong prefers less "oriental" cakes (a little too fine!!) but I suppose one can't a expect a Delia Smith class from a Taiwanese trained teacher!

Still yummy. :)
